Angular handwriting,

The new style Of angular handwriting
reminds one of the round hand that sue
ceeded the copy-book pothooks of olden
times, or of the old fashioned picket
fence on a rampage, or the monumental
slabs of an out-west cemetery. AL
uniformity is skillfully avoided by the
expert calligraphist and the letters are
so large that he who runs may read.
Young ladies affect this style, which is
an importation of the Anglo maniacs.
1t is especially popular in Washington
among diplomatic circles. In Chicago
there is special school to teachit. For
the time it is the most popular way for
the scholar to make her mark, it being
peculiarly exclusive to lady correspond
ents.
Among those who write The angular
est of angular letters in an off-hand,
business way is Miss Daisy Garland, the
charming daughter of Gen. Garland, OF
Washington.
A beautifully clear hand with letters
formed very high is that of Margaret
Eytinge.
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the
Presidents sister, writes manly, flow
ing style, less daring than the ultra
angular hand but quite as difficult to
read. No seal.
Mrs. Gen. Custer employs quill pen
and writes on elegant mourning paper.
Her angular letters are graceful and
characteristic. She uses black seal
with monogram.
Belva A. Lockwood makes better
capitals than any other woman in
America. She uses green wax and
seals with thimble.
Kate Putnam Osgood writes very
legible hand, with round, Uniformed
letters and considerable stress of the pen
on the y'sand g's.
Rosa Hartwel Thorpe, author of
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, :"
writes delicate womanly hand, with
out trace of the angular" or heroic
type.
S. Fillmore Bennett, the author of
1.-The Sweet By and By writes such a
dainty hand that is never credited to a
masculine pen. He punctuates with
care.
Orelia Key Bell writes rapid bust
ness hand, each letter sharp and defined,
but no time lost in hourishes. The
signature is dainty and lady-Hke, with
the turn of the 0 in Orelia carried
across to the B in Bell; the X in the
center overtops the other capitals in a
symmetrical way, and the whole name
is finished with an ornamental dash be-
low it. The seal is composed of the
initials in facsimile of the owner
writing.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes a
hand that is peculiar and difficult to
read, because so many of her letters
must be guessed at. All the Beechers
made the same kind of a B. tits hump
backed and distorted.
The good gray goose quill is coming
in. Those who like to tickle their
noses with q feather find substitute
for the thought-inspiring quill in the
long pheasant tail feather which has a
steel pen for a nib. AS making a pen
out of a quill belongs to the lost arts it
will hardly be popular Renaissance.

Freaks of Lightning.

During recent storm at inghamton,
N. Y, two boys were sleeping in the
same bed. Lightning killed one OF
them, while the other escaped the
slightest injury.
Three boys of Stamford, Conn, took
refuge in barn during thunder.
storm. They sat very close together in
a row. Lightning killed both outside
boys, leaving the centre one entirely
uninjured.
A perfect galvanic battery exists in
The person of a st. Louis man, who was
recently struck by lightning. He can
impart the current to those coming in
contact with him, and he is affected
with violent spasms.
Miss May Bailey of Owingsville, KY,
was turning the COWS from the pasture
preparatory to milking them, when
lightning struck wagon near her, and
the shock killed her. She showed no
marks or injuries.
While in the act of mailing up gate
Jacob Baulknight of Jonesboro, Ca,
was killed by lightning. The bolt
struck the hammer and it melted in his
hand. The family in the house were
all knocked senseless.
Old Uncle Anderson Weaver was
hoeing cotton near his house at Social
Circle, Ga, when lightning struck him,
tearing the rim from his hat and his
clothing and shoes into shreds. When
reached he was dead, with his clothing
all afire.
During recent storm at Rosedale,
Mo-, Lewis Beckett was instantly

doorway and the house consumed.
Not far away David Custer, who was
on horseback, took refuge under tree,
when q bolt killed both horse and rider,
An Atlanta, Ca, drayman was haul
ing sand when thunderstorm came
up. There was binding flash, when
both horses fell dead in their tracks.
iO'Neill did not even get a shock, and
being pious man he instantly shouted
to man passing, "I.rejoice that things
are no worse'
Every season for the last five years
the barn of Ely Warren, near Hartford,
has been struck by lightning. Men
and animals have been killed, but. the
building always escaped fire. During
the storm of Tuesday Mr.. Warren
son Henry, aged 16, was instantly
killed, together with a horse.

blood flows IN the veins Of the royal
Bird Notes.

The blackbird has been found equally
destructive of the eggs of birds of other
species with that OF the crow and
sparrow.
A swallow flew against u Phila-
delphia boys face and drove his bill
clean through his cheek. The boy held
the bird fast by his teeth, and it now
occupies cage as pet.
A pair of swallows have built nest
in one Of the electric lights of Oshkosh,
Wis, and have Matched six young ones.
The nest is directly under the bowl
which is placed over the light, and but
a few inches from the light.
John Ellis of Williamsport, Pa, has
a very intelligent crow. When he sees
the dog dining he sneaksup behind and
grabs his tail. The dog wheels around,
when the crow snatches up the covet-
ed food and is Instantly out of reach.
The catbird, just before dining upon
your ripe, nice cherries, perches him
| upon an eminence in the neighborhoo
and then you are treated to comic
opera of over half an hours length.
His melody at such times is very pleas
ing.
An owl swooped down from a tall
tree upon catfish which James Will
kins of Americas, Ga, had upon his
hook while fishing. The fight between
the owl and Wilkins was desperate
one, with the final discontinue of the
bird.
Three times a Sumter, Ca, man
broke up the nest of guinea hen
that seemed determined to sit. The
last time she deliberately walked to a
well, flew to the curbing, and plunged
head first into the deep waters below.
When got out she was dead.
Something new in the bird line was
captured by F. B. Phelps of Mulberry,
S. G. It has the head of the owl, with
tremendous black eyes. Its face looked
like monkeys with white cheeks and
a black streak over each eye. The
rest of the head inclined to gray, with
black dots near the end of each feather.
The body was covered with beautiful
plumage. Whenever he went near it
it would give most unearthly yell that
frightened the dogs. It whipped out
every dog on the place.

NAMES FOR GIRLS.
WIT Parents Should Exercise Great ca
In ThA1f Selection.

WIZ Parents should Exercise Great Care
In Their Selection. :.
! Young girls generally like to Be
called pet names, and it is real nice for
awhile, but as they grow older they
learn to dislike them. 1t is then too
late to shake them of, and they have to
bear them patiently or impatiently.
Pet names are only fit for children, and
were they outgrown. as are pinafores
and knee brooches. they would not be
so Objectionable.
Young man are prone to call their
swecthearts all sorts of pet names.
They may be honest enough. but. like
other forms of taffy, this soon clogs on
the taste.
'Birdie" is quite favorite name
with some people, and one that sounds
real nice when applied to bright
little girl, but it does not look nearly
so well on marriage certificate as on
a school hook, nor sound as well with
Mrs. prefxed to it. When You hear the
name you invariably associate it with
a child, and are disappointed to find
that it belongs to matron or old
maid.
Mamie is another suggestive
name. You feel that it ought to
apply to a tomboy. 1t does not apply
welft to a baby nor to matron.
MAUD is always suggestive of list
lessness, poetry and icc-cream. and con-
sequently does not apply to infants nor
to elderly ladies. There is such sug-
gestiveness Of affection about it that 1t
robs grandmother of her charms.
Aunt Maud jones' sounds fiat and
unattractive. "Aunt Becky Jones" is
very much better. Becky" and bust
ness seem to 60 together, while 'Re-
becca" is suggestive of womanly
strength, domestic turn and devotion.
Sarah" is another name that COM
mands respect. 1t is suggestive of
moral force, goodness of heart and
faithfulness and applies to all stages
of life.
Did it ever occur to you that the
disposition and manner of a person
have much to do with the form name
takes? If a girl named Sarah develops
into rough and reckless creature she
is called SAL" but if she is mild or
weak her name naturally develops into
"Sallie;" or into an odd, independent
woman, it will be spelled with ~"
There are great many names on the
list which might be shown to- have
taken their form from the dis
position of the person wearing
them. Care should always be taken
when selecting namc for girl to
choose one that will sound well when
she becomes mother OF grandmoth-
